Love love love the fit; however, the wash of the jeans and the ankle socks lost me. The perfect christmas gift for this gent would be some no-show socks from foot locker. Yes, that was bitchy I know. Jorge from WPB

He looks very classy! I loving the different shades of blues in the blazer and the denim. Quite fabulous!

i think the socks are great. and the trouser-like cuffs on the jeans...this could have been a total disaster and he pulled it off great. here is proof that style is less about what you're wearing and more about how you wear it.

People complain about the socks... but he is just going for comfort and hygiene! Bravo Mr Ricci: that is good sense for once!

When would fashion people understand that those shoes without socks will only make your feet sweat, swell and smell??!!!!

Javi C.I like the width of the neck of the shirt, the buttons of the opened fists(handles) and the handkerchief(scarf) of the jacket.It(He,She) should put on a few "PINKIS", in Spain there are called this way a few cacetines that only cover the foot and are not seen over the shoe, for the summer they are fantastic.

I wonder how much time He thought about the socks.. should I? shouldn't I? I personaly wish I chose to wear socks today because my feet kill and smell all at the same time. Mr. Ricci is a smarter man than I.

He looks just too refreshing! I love his entire look. I need to find shoes like his! I need to so bad! I like his blazer being a slim fit and the lapels being over sized. check out my trendy blog!http://thetrendydwarf.blogspot.com/

I LOVE that he is wearing the little socks! It says that he doesn't want blisters and smelly feet. Why are people so bothered by seeing socks on men? Do you really like to look at their ankles that much?

Have to agree with the masses, those socks are killing me! Otherwise, a really great look!

Beautifully tailored db jacket, can never go wrong with blue and white. Miss the mark on the socks and a leather strapped watch would add a dash of color/interest. Nothing beats a well worn pair of white bucks in the summer!

What a coincidence! I just wrote about brogues on my blog! The open neckline, light washed denim, and cream colored shoes are light and summery. Everything is crisp and clean and it's far from oppressive. There have been some comments about his socks, but he pulls it off rather nicely. Great look!

I hate those socks as well, in my opinion they totally ruin the whole picture, The Look is great, but white sporting socks with shoes. :(

I have the same shoes (Brimarts)... Got them thrown-in free (honest !) when buying 2 rather expensive pairs for my wife in southern Italy couple of months ago... And I wear them with similar, but lower cut socks... which probably officialy makes me cool :-)

Great jacket, shirt and haircut. But the socks are a catastrophe and the blue of his jean is too light

Personally, I'm not much for the socks, but going without socks wouldn’t be especially comfortable. My suggestion would be to wear a pair of really thin cotton sock in a very light blue matching the colour of the jeans.

I love the socks. You have to be a very selfconfidence gentleman to wear that kind of socks. The evidence is almost no one here likes them, despite the smart and confortable they are.

I don't think it's a question of socks/no socks, in this case. Clearly the guy knows style. He's wearing two inch cuff jeans; he knew his ankles were showing that day. I think where he went wrong was that he put white socks with white bucks. It's not a flattering contrast. The socks should be a pop of color (purple or red or orange or something) this look would have looked much better. I'm surprised that he didn't do this, because he's Italian. I'm also not surprised that he wore these white socks, because he's Italian, and sometimes they just don't give a damn. That's why they're the best dressed people on the planet.

The end.

People are complaining about the socks because they are athletic white ankle socks...NOT because he is simply wearing socks!They are BRUTAL!

So please, enough of the "socks are good hygiene", "dont mind the socks but they should be blue" crap. He's wearing white ankle socks, it's beyond lame...

Normally I'm against the sock movement but here for some reason just works. So does the light trouser. Maybe it's the angle at which he's sitting.

To everyone who thinks that if they see no socks, that we are not wearing socks: Some do actually "go sockless" but there are something called peds, to protect your shoes and keep you looking ahead of the curve. No need to get so sticky about it.

As with belts socks are difficult waters to navigate.Hence the popularity of no-sock look during this tight line and high water hems. This man's choice makes the socks look like underwear riding up than the accessory they could have been.

Signor Ricci is starting a new trend - match your socks to your pocket square... it's what the cool kids are doing this summer.

The socks. No. Just no.

Would be interesting to see how he looks standing up.

I'm guessing he wouldn't be looking great.

though he looks like a very nice man x

WOW the lenght of the blazer the combination of blues....thats a very elaborated style confession

Marius, good point. The nautical ensemble on a man looks classic and fantastic. In my opinion though it can be ruined by too many attempting their interpretation thereof. Worse still is when someone tries to pursue precision in its execution.

Just wear it. Don't bother about meticulous precision in sleeve length or precise amount of turn-ups.

The looks is one of my favorites. This summer I'm going to have a stab at it with a navy Valentino blazer with gold buttons (yes gold buttons) and white linen slacks.
